Eye am first!


2 Bad eye Can't go though....

Can anybody make sure that ALL the goodies get down on DAT?

"REAL music
REAL musicians"

2 experince it?

REAL MONEY! - Guaranteed!

Xenophobia - No shit. Like P, you have 2 be number 1 at the bank to attend.

Oh yeah, BTW. There's a typo in the last sentence of the e-mail. Where it says "Come to the park and play with us June 21-27", was actually ment to say "Come to the park and pay us June 21 - 27".

miserable git,

If we in England had a chance to go for a week - we'd there in a shot.

Oh, I see. He's supposed to make it for nothing! Now I understand. And all the time I thought he has the freaking right to get paid if he opens his studio, invites guest performers and performs all nights himself!

yeah! that's what I thought, too.

WOW! Real musicians????? I hope these ´real musicians´ won´t be Alicia Keys and Destiny´s Child...:-/
I cant wait to see the list and to listen to the bootleg! I have a feeling this will be the best Celebration ever

Nah..of course not. But is should be 35.75 a night for whatever time you're there. NOT the $250 you have to pay upfront whether you can be there (or chose to be there) for the whole 7 days.

But yeah....he has right to get paid. But not up front for event where the itinerary is so VAGUE.

Sure, Prince can make money. Everyone has that right.

However -
Celebration 1 US$70
Celebration 2 US$70
Celebration 3 US$250 on top of $100 NPGMC Membership

Surely U'd agree that's one heck of a price rise from last year. It wouldn't be as bad if he said US$100, or US$120 or $150 at the most, gradually raising the price from year 2 year. Also too, wasn't it about January he posted on his website to keep "June 21 - 27 free" (Free - LOL). If he knew the date so far in advance, he should have said to expect a price increase too. Celebration is now just over month to go and is now revealing the price.

Some fams have families 2 look out for first, bills, rent, saving up 2 live in a house, working hard trying to give my wife and daughter a great life. Some live on the other side of the world, where their currencey is no match for the mighty US dollar, so my dream 2 go 2 a Celebration is more and more out of reach.

For those who can go. Please GO!! It's great chance of a lifetime, and hope that all have a great time. I really just want to bring to Prince's attention, How can the little guy "come and play"???

Im just telling my side of the "2 and Fo"

Lookie here, lol I have been studing in college for the last 3 years and not working. However, I can make money when I need or want to. There is always a way to make money and I'm not talking about selling ones' body. lol $250 is a decent price for a WEEK at Paisley Park,especially when Prince is going to play 7 nights.

I'm not sure if this is news or not. But Candy Dulfer just said on Dutch Television that the songs she recently played on in Mpls will be released on an album called Xenophobia!!

If there are concerts, there will also be a charge for those tickets as well!
